Car key fob — Wilmington, NC
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
Locksmith rates depend on a few key things. The type of lock you have matters; high-security hardware or smart locks often require more specialized tools than standard deadbolts. Time of day also plays a part, as late-night or weekend service calls usually carry higher fees than routine daytime appointments. Additionally, whether you need a simple lockout entry or a full hardware replacement impacts the labor involved. We focus on transparency so you aren't guessing what you'll pay. We look at the specific security hardware and the complexity of the job to give you an honest estimate. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
